Dems accuse Alito of inappropriate behavior

Is there no low to which these people will reach? First their president shrieks untruths from his pulpit and then they accuse a Supreme Court justice for reacting to the untruth.

Senate Democrats, taking a cue from President Obama, are ripping into Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito for his understandable (and understated) display of disagreement with the president's misrepresentation of a recent court decision.

During last week's State of the Union Address, recall, Obama launched into an unpresidential attack on the court's upending of the McCain-Feingold campaign-finance act.

Obama incorrectly claimed the ruling -- in which Alito joined the 5-4 majority -- would permit foreign corporate campaign contributions in US elections.
